Morton is a three-star safety, according to 247Sports. He’s ranked as the No. 24 prospect in Mississippi and the the No. 97 safety nationally.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder chose Southern Miss over offers from Georgia State, Jackson State, Louisiana Tech, Bethune-Cookman and UT Martin.

Troy currently has the highest-rated class in the Sun Belt for 2025 with five commitments, followed by Georgia State. Southern Miss is in a tie for third.
